"Yes, Maddox and I are half-brothers. We have different mothers," said Benedict.

Benedict explained, "Things are a little complicated. Maddox grew up alone outside of the family. He only returned to the Yardley family in recent years. That's why he didn't get along with us well. Furthermore, his leg is injured, so it's normal that he's temperamental. Maddox... he has suffered a lot. Grandpa hopes to make up for him, so he appointed Maddox as the president of the company. But of course, Maddox is very competent. Even if Grandpa didn't give him the position, he has the capability of becoming the president by himself someday."

Kimberly was speechless. She did not expect it to be so complicated.

However, Maddox grew up outside of the Yardley family. Benedict and he had different mothers. Could it be... that he was an illegitimate child?

When she thought that Maddox's mother might be a mistress, Kimberly had an indescribable feeling.

Probably because she had just found out that her ex-husband had an affair, so...

Thinking of this, Kimberly pursed her lips. Was Maddox temperamental due to his childhood experience?

"It's better to keep it a secret and don't mention it in front of Maddox. He will be angry." Benedict smiled at Kimberly and asked, "You got it?"

Kimberly glanced at him without saying anything. She just nodded.

When they arrived at the intersection nearby the Yardley family, Benedict stopped the car by the roadside.

"Thank you, Brother. I'll go first," Kimberly uttered. Before she left, Benedict stopped her and handed her a bag. "My secretary bought an extra piece of cake. But I don't like sweets, so I am giving it to you," he said.

Cake?

Kimberly paused. She also... didn't like to eat cakes. It was greasy, and she would spit it out if she ever took a bite of it.
